Save a Life Tofurkey Drive: Delivering plant-based(vegan) meals to people in need for Thanksgiving

Update: The 2019 application is closed for the year. Thank you all who applied. We have requests for over 70 meals this year which is nearly 50% more than last year. Thank you again to all of our wonderful supports who have made this event possible. The 2020 form will be open the week before Thanksgiving.

Every November, INVeg provides vegan holiday meals to families in need. We feel that often the food bank simply cannot provide an ample meal for vegans and so that is why our event was created. We want people to feel truly loved when they receive this feast. This event is supported 100% by the generosity of our local businesses & INVEG members. All donations & sponsorships are tax deductible.

RECIPIANTS: After your apply, be sure to check your email near the date of the event. We do all of our communications through email due to the amount of people we serve. Pick up locations and times are sent via email near or on the day of the event.

We do our best to fill ever request, so you do not need to wait for a response for us. We do not contact everyone until after the closing date, Monday the week of the event.

Qualifications: Being a loving and compassionate person/family who needs support to make Thanksgiving day special this year. We want to share with you this meal as a way to thank you for existing 🙂 You are helping us build a brighter world!

Changes:

Please only request if you have 3 or more in your party, if you are an individual, invite friends over to share in the feast. Thank you!

We only can deliver in the Spokane City region so we will need people to meet with our volunteers inside of city limits if you are outside of the limits. If you need special accommodations, please email use at tofurkey@inveg.org

We are asking people to pick up their feasts. If you are unable to pick yours up, please choose that option on the form.

Request a meal:
If you would like to request one of these meals please fill out our form with your name, how many people will be at your dinner feast and phone number. We will coordinate how to receive your meal on Tuesday the 26th and Wednesday the 27th of November. Please read over the inclusion list below and let us know if there is anything you do not want or need in the form.

Note: Families with children receive first consideration.

Pumpkin Pie!!! – We are again producing homemade vegan pumpkin pies this year. Because it is such an intense project to produce 80+ vegan pies, we may not be able to make one for everyone but we will do our best. If people want to help Josh make pies, email him. We use The Gentle Chef’s pumpkin pie as the base of our recipe. It is the most delicious pumpkin pie on earth!!! 🙂
